Dana White says he doesn't have time to investigate any UFC-Biogenesis link

BOSTON – Dana White admits he still isn’t an expert on the Biogenesis scandal, but also feels he doesn’t need to be.

In other words, don’t expect the UFC executive to take an active role in determining whether Zuffa fighters were involved with the Florida doctor that distributed performance-enhancers to a wide variety of professional athletes.

Of course, it could be that White is a little less concerned because of the information he does know.

“I can tell you this: I haven’t heard one word about any of our guys being involved in it,” he said.

A rep for the U.S. Attorney’s office in Miami recently declined to confirm the existence of an investigation into the clinic, which was earlier reported by the Miami Herald, so it’s unclear whether White is referring to current headlines related to the scandal or more intimate knowledge of its proceedings.

As of late, the scandal has led to the suspension of more than a dozen players in Major League Baseball, which represented the biggest number of athletes implicated in patient records leaked by whistleblower Porter Fischer. The most famous of them all, Alex Rodriguez, is appealing his punishment.

This past month, Fischer revealed that MMA athletes were included in the patient records now under scrutiny. White said any potential fallout from the scandal was a commission issue, but called the situation “another f—ing headache I don’t need.”

Some might say White should take a proactive role in the investigation as a de-facto commissioner of a professional sports organization. But he sees it differently.

“These guys get tested by the government; I don’t give a s–t about Biogenesis,” he said. “I’ve got so much s–t to do. I can barely keep up with what I’m doing now. I’m not going to fly down there or get on the phone with these guys.

“Believe me, if bad s–t is going to happen, it’s going to come to me.”
